The freeze has had a significant economic impact on Lancaster County farmers, many of whom rely on pick-your-own events for revenue. Cherry Hill Orchards, for example, will not see income from its peach and apple trees until 2027. While some farms, like Brecknock Orchard, were able to salvage a small portion of their crop, the overall peach supply in the region is limited. This shortage may lead to higher prices for consumers and financial strain for farmers who depend on these crops. The freeze also highlights the vulnerability of agriculture to extreme weather events.
